Guide Review - "NHL 2002" Review
So the commentators can be a bit annoying. But if you are looking for a hockey game, look no further. The customization the game has is one of my favorite features about it. You can create your own player, import mp3 files, have a fantasy team draft, and import jerseys you created. Even without the customization options, the game is solid. The graphics are really good, and you won't need the best graphics card to enjoy them.
An option you'll spend lots of time on is the fantasy draft. You can pick players from any team. The computer generates fantasy teams for each of the computer teams. You can even trade with the computer for players. But be willing to give up some of your better players, for that awesome player you are trying to get.
"NHL 2002" has a lot of great features that sports fans will love. Between the different modes of play and the customization features, you'll be kept busy for a long time.
